This definitely sounds like some of the Japanese Okamiden merchandise will be brought overseas sometime soon. I’m also hoping that Capcom will consider releasing the collector’s edition of the game… I’d snatch that up right away!

Natsume talks working with the Virtual Console (no Harvest Moon 64), 3DS thoughts

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 3 Comments

First, Natsume’s Vice President of Operations Graham Markay was asked if Harvest Moon 64 will be released on the Virtual Console…

“It (Harvest Moon 64) will not [be released on the Virtual Console]. It will not. And it’s not from lack of trying. Unfortunately, the code of the game is not… it’s not an easy transfer. It would be really time-consuming and long, and we’ve looked into it, and we’ve tried to see if there’s any way around certain things, but the conversion to virtual console, it’s just… I shouldn’t say it’s never going to come out, but there’s just a really, really, very small chance that it would ever come out. Which is unfortunate because we know that for a lot of dedicated, die-hard fans, that’s their favorite.”

Markay also shared his thoughts on the 3DS…

“It looks exciting. I mean, from everybody’s aspect whether it’s television manufacturers, Sony, Nintendo, it seems like 3D is the next thing. Speaking for myself and the company, yeah, it’s exciting. Speaking for myself personally, I wear glasses. So putting glasses on top of glasses is always a bit… when I take my kids to see a 3D movie, they enjoy it a little bit more than me because I always tend to not see it as well as they do because of the glasses. But it’s exciting; we are a supporter of the 3DS.”

I really had no idea that it could be so technology difficult to bring titles like Harvest Moon 64 to the Virtual Console. I wonder if similar issues are holding up other releases that could land on the service.

Thanks to Robert for the tip!

We posted the European boxart for this game earlier today, but as you can see, the North American boxart looks quite a bit different. Which one do you prefer?

Koji Kondo turns the big 5-0

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Random | 3 Comments

Wouldn’t the world have been a sadder place had Koji Kondo decided to take on a profession other than composing video game music? We would have missed out some absolutely fantastic tunes, such as the main themes in Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. The legendary composer turned 50 today and has been with Nintendo for more than half of his life. Let’s hope he sticks around with the company for many more years to come!
